“Morning/Mourning” is both playful and serious, funny and biting, alien and marvelously human.” — The New York Times
Created and Written by: Gelsey Bell
Directed by: Tara Ahmadinejad
Set in a future where humans no longer exist, mɔɹnɪŋ [morning//mourning] imagines a world where Earth undergoes a miraculous metamorphosis. Through an ensemble of five vocalist/multi-instrumentalists—including Gelsey Bell, Aviva Jaye, Mia Pak, Brian McCorkle, and Paul Pinto—the audience is guided on a poetic journey through the changes on Earth as forests grow back, new species evolve, and the human-made world gradually erodes away. It explores the political and ethical contradictions of our current environmental crisis and poses existential questions about what it means to leave a lasting impact on the planet. How long will our influence linger? How will the Earth look without us? And what lessons can we learn today from imagining this future?
